Chapter 5
283 sets of military uniforms were put on by these soldiers, making them look like soldiers.
However, changing into a military uniform was only the beginning.
Next was the replacement of weapons and equipment. However, these weapons and equipment were piled up on the ground. Zhao Wenbin was not in a hurry to distribute them. Instead, he lit a cigarette for himself.
After smoking a cigarette, he opened an army green box and took out a rifle. He pulled the bolt and looked at the soldiers."This is our standard rifle, the Leenfield rifle from the British Isles.
This rifle used 7.7mm caliber ammunition, which was very powerful. Moreover, because of its magazine characteristics, although one magazine could only hold five rounds of ammunition, it could hold ten rounds at once because it was a double magazine.
Moreover, this rifle was also the fastest manual rifle in the current world.”
After Zhao Wenbin finished speaking, he placed the rifle on the ground. Then, he picked up a Bren light machine gun and said,"Bren Light Machine Gun. It was made in the real world in the Soviet Union and had excellent performance. It also used 7.7mm rifle bullets, the same caliber as the ammunition used in the Leenfield rifle.”
"The M2Hm heavy machine gun has good firepower and is extremely powerful. The Japanese Type 91 tanks are like paper in front of it. Use 12.7mm bullets.”
"Colt 1911A1 pistol, using 11.43mm bullets. Although it only had a capacity of seven rounds, its power was unparalleled. It could directly penetrate the Japanese's steel helmet from a distance of 80 meters.”
After Zhao Wenbin finished speaking, he put down his weapons and looked at them."These weapons are all yours, but don't rush. Which of you can read?”
The soldiers looked at each other. No one stood up. It seemed that they were illiterate.
Zhao Wenbin was stunned when he saw this scene. No one could read?
This made Zhao Wenbin a little helpless. Originally, in his plan, the officer's questions would be selected from those who could read, and then he would personally guide them. As a top student who graduated from the Military Command Academy, teaching them was not a problem.
However, he did not expect that no one could read. This was a problem.
"That's true! If they could read, they would have joined the army! I've been doing well for a long time!"
This was an era where the spread of literacy was poor. There were very few literate people among the common people. As long as they were literate, they would not be that bad no matter how bad they were. Only illiterate and uncultured people would put their heads on their belts under such circumstances.
After Zhao Wenbin finished muttering, he looked at them again. Since they were illiterate, there was a way to make them illiterate.
After walking around the group of soldiers, he selected more than 50 young men who looked energetic and had bright eyes.
"From now on, you will be my officers and will be responsible for helping me manage them. Now, I'll appoint you to your positions. After I've appointed you, you can come to me for the record. And from today onwards, you will have cultural classes from six to nine every night. I'll personally teach you how to read.”
Zhao Wenbin pointed at the more than 50 young people he had selected and said. Then, he began to appoint them.
After the appointment, when they came to register and report their names, Zhao Wenbin really felt a headache.
Because this was a chaotic world, parents would give their children strange names in order to make it easier to support them.
Li Ergou, Zhao Tiedan, Wang Tiezhu, none of them were normal. However, Zhao Wenbin knew how bad the medical conditions in this era were.
Due to poor medical conditions and poor hygiene, the possibility of a baby dying was very high. In order to let the child live, parents could only give the child a name like this, hoping that it would be easy to raise.
These 283 people had been reorganized into 23 infantry squads by Zhao Wenbin. For the time being, they had not been reorganized into infantry platoons. This was because these officers were illiterate and did not understand anything. If they were to form an infantry platoon, none of the acting platoon leaders he appointed would be able to manage dozens of people.
For the time being, each infantry squad had 12 people, with one squad leader and one deputy squad leader.
After that, there would be seven people left. These seven people would be used by Zhao Wenbin as his staff officers. It was just that Zhao Wenbin still needed to train them himself before he could have staff officers. Otherwise, they would still be illiterate soldiers.
Then, Zhao Wenbin used the roster to assign everyone to their classes. It took nearly an entire morning to finally assign everyone to their classes.
"I didn't expect it to be almost eleven.”
Zhao Wenbin looked at the time on the controller on his wrist and could not help but shake his head slightly. Time passed really quickly.
"Young Master, we're back!"
At this moment, Old Man Li returned with more than 30 people. Among them, there were a few ox carts pulling a lot of things.
"Alright! Everyone, disperse and rest! Training starts at 2 PM sharp."
After Zhao Wenbin finished speaking, he went forward to welcome him.
"Young Master, there are more than 20 people here who are chefs. The rest were all kitchen helpers, doing odd jobs for the chefs. I've invited all the famous chefs around here!”
Old Man Li looked at Zhao Wenbin and said as if he was asking for credit.
"Haha! You did well."
Zhou Weiguo glanced at those people and said with a smile.
"It's just that Young Master, their requirements are a little high. They hope to earn fifteen yuan a month. Is that okay with you?”
Old Man Li also felt that Zhao Wenbin should have no problem with this small problem from how generous he had been in the past few days.
"Sure! I give them 20 bucks a month. However, they had to guarantee that the things they made had to be worth the price.”
It's just twenty yuan! Zhao Wenbin really did not mind.
"Young and old men! Young Master has agreed to give you 20 yuan a month. But you have to guarantee that the product is worth the price. I'll leave today's lunch to you!”
Old Man Li walked to the group of people and shouted.
Immediately after, the group of chefs began to get busy. However, because they had to cook for more than 300 people around noon today, there was definitely not enough time now. Therefore, they made some simple preparations.
He stir-fried some green leafy vegetables and cooked a few pots of porridge. Then, he took out some large pieces of pork and cut them into small cubes. He threw them into the pot and cooked them. He sprinkled some things on them to accompany them.
One soldier had a bowl of porridge, half a bowl of stir-fried green leafy vegetables, and two pieces of pork. Although it wasn't a lot, and none of the soldiers were full, it was already a very delicious lunch for these soldiers who hadn't seen meat all year round.
